Today our server ran out of disk space. Some servers, confronted with this
situation, would collapse in a screaming heap, but not ours. Oh no! Instead
it sucked it up and kept on running. Of course, it couldn't save anything,
so almost every nation and region it touched got deleted or corrupted,
but still, you have to admire its spirit.

Here's what happened: we realized (a) that terrible, terrible things were
happening to the game, (b) this was because we'd run out of disk space,
and (c) yes, we really should have caught this earlier. Fortunately,
we had a complete backup from earlier in the day, so we took down the
game and began restoring.

Here's what this means: if you did anything in the 20 hours before the
game went down, it's been undone. Legislation passed, telegrams sent,
endorsements granted or regional movement: none of it really happened.

Nations deleted in the last 20 hours will be back. (Although if they
were deleted by mods, you can bet they'll be re-deleted pretty quick.)
Nations created in the last 20 hours have vanished. You can re-create
them, but unfortunately I suspect we'll run into some forum account
wackiness, because the forum itself is not being reset.

Known Problems page.
